Retallack Resort

Retallack Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic week away, room was spotless but the chairs outside the front could have done with a bit of tlc, cushions were green due to them getting constantly wet when it rains. Could do with some new ones and part of the stay if you use them take them back inside once finished. Decking over looking the lake was worn and needed a clean (found out this was being done on the day we checked out) Both the chairs and decking would of been a let down if it was in the summer. Apartment was great and comfy, dishwasher, washing machine and plenty of cooking utensils etc. Would recommend taking washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets as well as toilet roll as only one supplied, saying that a shop is onsite that has a good supply of items. Activities and swimming pool we didn’t use as had planned days out everyday and the weather was great for Sept/Oct. Will definately stay again."

"Great stay at St Mellion. Staff were friendly and helpful, spa was lovely and relaxing and not too busy. Great facilities, had a look in the gym but didn’t bring gym clothes unfortunately, as it looked really well equipped. We had dinner in the Brasserie, starters were not the best but main course was really good. Room was slightly dated but very well kept and bed super comfortable. We had a balcony looking onto the course which my partner appreciated. Stayed for our anniversary and had a bottle of prosecco and card in the room which was a really nice touch. Really good breakfast and easy checkout. Would stay again."

"We had an excellent few days at this hotel. We stayed in a superior double room. It was very spacious , with a large bathroom and a balcony overlooking the grounds. It was useful having a chilled cabinet and other facilities such as an iron and ironing board. Tea bags , coffee, water and biscuits were replenished daily and the toiletries were of a nice quality. We ate 4 times at the hotel as the food was so good. They had a good range of gluten free options and this was one of the reasons we chose to stay here ( I checked out the menu pre - stay). We felt the prices were a good price considering the high quality of the food. The staff were friendly and helpful. We definitely would stay here again."

"Really lovely stay and a great surprise. The room was much bigger than we expected and we were really pleased to find that the kids effectively had their own little room within our room, with really good-sized bunk beds. It made such a difference travelling as a family and everyone had plenty of space. The staff were absolutely outstanding, genuinely friendly, welcoming and helpful, and really added to our stay. The room was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was excellent and, oddly important after a long day, the TV was simple to use without having to fight with it! One useful update is that the hotel does now have an alcohol licence, despite some of the information we received beforehand suggesting otherwise, so drinks are available from the bar added bonus. We were only there for one night but were genuinely impressed. It was excellent value for a family room and we would very happily stay again."
